2013 Writing Goal – Week 13
The picture speaks for itself: Didn’t meet the goal. But that’s ok; I had lots of family fun instead. Oh, and I published a short story, under my mystery pen name. Across the Line is a 4,300 word short story …

2013 Writing Goal – Week 11
Another week ended the other night. Time to tell you guys how I did. In a word, meh. Observe: Just 4,402 words. But that’s ok. I ran a freaking Triathlon last week! Suck it, beeotches! 😛 Or something like that. …
2013 Writing Progress – Week 9
I’m a little late in updating for this week, but that’s ok. I don’t hear any complaints. 🙂 Simply put, I crushed it. Observe: 11,212 words, almost 50% above my 7,500 word goal for the week. It helped that I …
Changing the Covers
I use GIMP to do covers. At least I do when I don’t hire out for them. It’s pretty powerful, and the price was right – FREE! Over the last year and a half I’ve learned a lot about how …

Boring…
Lately I’ve noticed something. Maybe some of y’all out there can relate to it. The interwebs are FREAKING BORING! Seriously. I suppose this partially harkens back to the phenomenon I talked about a couple posts ago, but it’s more than …
Story #17
I just pushed “publish” on The Blob On The Rock, making it the 17th story I’ve epubbed so far. It got an HM from Writers Of the Future, but didn’t get picked up by pro magazine markets (I heard back …
Finally…Another One
I finished another short story tonight. First one since the move, and since my bicycle injury. It came in at 3,100 words and took 2.42 hours to write. That comes out to 1284 words/hour. Which is slower than normal for …
Another One Down
Just felt the need to crow. I finished another story today: another mystery/crime tale, called Bag Man. I started it back in March, but only got about 1,000 words down before I left for the Workshop. I originally called it The Watery Tart, …
